Midler’s smelling like a rose
April 2, 1991
Bette Midler is short, middle-aged and no conventional beauty – but she is the most bankable female star in Hollywood.
Midler, 45, standing 5-foot-1, is the only actress, according to an article in the current issue of Good Housekeeping, who commands as much attention and almost as much money as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone or Tom Cruise.
Walt Disney Studios and 20th Century-Fox calculate that Bette is more bankable than Meryl Streep or Michelle Pfeiffer.
